'Abyss’ was a male-oriented modern fantasy novel that was published more than 10 years ago. The main character of ‘Abyss’ was a poor young man who made a living day by day by moving around in various part-time jobs, but one day he accidentally awakened and acquired abilities, leading to being scouted by a guild to become a huge munchkin character*.

Among the women rescued by the main character, there were 10 significant figures… It was a work written for male readers, in which everyone fell in love with the main character and gave everything to him.

In ‘Abyss’, there were characters who opposed the main character from the beginning to the end, such as the character who had the same SS rank as the main character, Cheon Sa-yeon. He was memorable because of his unique name.

He had a feminine name, but unfortunately, he was a man—a strong man with a personality that didn’t match the word ‘angel’ (천사). He was a good-looking guy, but he had a cruel and self-righteous personality. To summarize, he was the biggest enemy and rival for the main character and a stumbling block throughout the story.

And that Cheon Sa-yeon had a loyal dog who stood by his side. He had low self-esteem and was timid and stupid, but his abilities were so useful that he was often used by Cheon Sa-yeon—first staying in order to get his younger sister back from Cheon Sa-yeon’s grasp, and later staying by his side because he came to love Cheon Sa-yeon, eventually dying on his (CSY) behalf: Han Yi-gyeol.

“…….f*ck.”

And I became that same Han Yi-gyeol.

I thought hard.

Where the hell was I?

I looked around the dazzling room and slowly sit up. After carefully examining the blindingly bright room, I put my hand on my stomach on reflex.

“What…”

I smoothly got out of bed and looked over myself. The scars that covered my whole body had disappeared, and my field of vision seemed to be shorter.

“What the **** is this…”

The scars disappeared and I became shorter. And… I couldn’t see my precious muscles. The proud abs that made the people around me on the beach say, ‘You look great, Hyung!’ were gone.

“Oh!”

I groped between my legs in a hurry, unsavory thoughts passed by my head as I did. But fortunately, it was still there. The size wasn’t bad. Of course, it couldn’t compare to my original body’s.

“…..”

After looking around for a bit, I sat down flatly on the bed and got lost in thought. First, I had to figure out the situation.

My last memory was holding my bleeding stomach in pain. I felt a little embarrassed dying because of the betrayal of my beloved younger brother, no matter how painful the wound was. He was babbling something like ‘I’m sorry’ or ‘I can’t help it’ before he stabbed the knife into my stomach.

‘Then… am I dead?’

Getting betrayed was nothing new, but this time the situation was serious. I was stabbed in the pit of my stomach, and my body probably bled out in the end.

I let out a dejected laugh.

I had struggled to survive in this cruel world for years, following other people’s footsteps, and I died in vain?

‘…So what the hell is this body?’

I was stunned by a reality I could never imagine to be real. Actually, all of this could just be a dream and I could be lying in the hospital asleep or in a coma. It was possible, dreams could be as real as reality from what I’ve seen. Well, at least it was worth checking out.

I jumped up and probed around the unfamiliar room. However, no matter how much I looked, I couldn’t find any knives or scissors. I threw a glass bottle across the room and the glass shattered on the floor. It would be a bit troublesome to clean later, but I needed to know where I was. To be honest, all of this felt more like a dream than a reality.

I grabbed one of the larger broken pieces of glass and held it up to my wrist. Red blood dripped out of my pure white skin. It wasn’t enough, so I swung my wrist, cutting it much more as blood gushed out.

“…It hurts.”

Why did it hurt? As I looked up from my bleeding wrist, I saw a face I had never seen before in the mirror. The face under the fine brown hair was neat and looked fairly pretty. But his skin was too white and his body was thin as if someone sucked the life out ofhim. Tsk tsk, you should’ve worked out.

The face reflected in the mirror was distorted. Whether it was a dream or not, I still felt pain. I should be careful. I sighed and pondered what to do with my bleeding arm when the door suddenly swung open and someone came in.

“Han Yi-gyeol! Stop sleeping and wake up! Master–– what the ****?”

The man who was stomping toward me stopped and examined me as he asked in a pitying voice, “What’s wrong with you? Did you really harm yourself?”

“……”

“What a mess… Geez, you sure have been busy. You’re such a loser.”

He shook his head disappointedly. As I listened to what he had to say, The name he stated tingled something in my memory. Han Yi-gyeol. Why was this name so familiar? Han Yi-gyeol, Han Yi-gyeol…

“Ah.”

After searching my memory for the name for a long time, I raised my head as if receiving a divine message. Han Yi-gyeol! It was the character in the novel I read yesterday, he was a character who appeared in the novel ‘Abyss’ only to die.

“Huh? What do you mean by ‘Ah’? Are your speaking skills deteriorating? Forget it. Hurry up and come out quickly, the Master is calling.”

The man forcibly pulled me away, seemingly uncaring about my bloody arm. As we left the room and walked down the hallway, it became difficult to come to my senses.

Really? Seriously? Did this make sense? I didn’t just come into anyone’s body, but a soon-to-die character in a fictional world?

And why did it have to be this one?

‘Wait a minute.’

Thinking up to that point, I belatedly remembered what kind of novel ‘Abyss’ was. ‘Abyss’ was a male-oriented novel. And that means the number of female characters was much higher than that of male characters. And, in the end, all of them became obsessed with the main character and fought for his love. A harem novel.

‘Fuck… Long live Han Yi-gyeol. Thank you.’

Suddenly, my appreciation for Han Yi-gyeol increased dramatically. Okay. He had a very good face, he had a good head, and he was a man above all, right? He was a man!

“Go in.”

In my heart, I prayed and thanked the god who put me into this body, but the man continued to lead me to push me roughly into the hotel room. The room I entered looked bigger and much more expensive than the room I was in earlier.

“…What’s wrong with your arm?”

As I stood in the middle of the room and looked around, a velvety voice behind me spoke up. I turned around, and a man looking like he had just left the bathroom was looking at me. His broad chest was visible through the white bathrobe he was wearing.

I slowly raised my gaze to see the willowy man brushing his dripping dark hair roughly with his slender fingers. His face was something that could only be described as absolutely gorgeous. Even a popular actor who went to a salon to maintain his looks regularly wouldn’t look as good as that.

The man’s face could make him look like a devout believer or an insidious murderer depending on the lighting.

The man met my eyes as he looked at my face and spit out:

“Pull your eyes down before I pluck them out.”

“……”

After he said that, I was sure of who he was. He was that bastard who Han Yi-gyeol always trembled around—Cheon Sa-yeon.

“I asked you what was with your arm,” Cheon Sa-yeon asked again. I thought about it for a bit and then answered politely.

“Nothing.”

“……”

Cheon Sa-yeon, who heard me, stared at me as if asking, ‘What’s wrong with you?’ Through the eye contact. Did I not answer right? I answered with utmost care in mind!

Han Yi-gyeol in the original story was so quiet that it wasn’t easy to find references for his personality. Originally, Han Yi-gyeol trembled in the same room as Cheon Sa-yeon and could barely nod his head in front of him. And with the main character, did what Cheon Sa-yeon told him to do at some point and got beaten.

I had no idea how a timid young man behaved. Most of the guys around me were the big and war-like type. Han Yi-gyeol was an adorable flower-like boy who I’d never met in my past life.

“I heard that ‘The Empress of Red Flames’ will soon clear the G7 area and come out of the gate tomorrow afternoon.”

The Empress of Red Flames. This naming was… Well, since the novel ‘Abyss’ was written 10 years ago, the naming was a bit childish.

“Wind is quite useful against fire. Go and kidnap her. And let the Roheon Guild kid get the news.”

Who was the Empress of Red Flames again? …I blanked out while listening to Cha Sa-yeon, who was still in his open bathrobe. I naturally recalled bits of content in the novel. In the beginning, I recalled that the main character rescued a kidnapped woman. The victim was The Empress Of Red Flames, who Cheon Sa-yeon told Han Yi-gyeol to kidnap, and the kid from the Roheon Guild was the main character that saved her.

What happened to Han Yi-gyeol at that time? I think he was beaten up by the main character. No, more than that…

‘I don’t know who the Empress of Red Flames is……’

I was confused because there were so many women who appeared in the story. Usually, I was proud of my memory, but now I was unsure. Cheon Sa-yeon pulled out a cigarette while looking at the night view of Seoul outside the window and frowned.

“If you understand, why don’t you leave?”

I was going to ask Cheon Sa-yeon who the Empress of Red Flames was, but I stopped. There were many things I didn’t understand that I couldn’t ask Cheon Sa-yeon, who was like the antagonist. It was better to step back quietly now.

I opened my mouth, but as I thought I would be seen as crazy again, I just nodded and turned to leave. Behind my back, I heard a “Hm?” but it didn’t seem like anything to worry about, so I left the room as it was. When I came out of the hallway, the man who guided me was waiting for me. He looked at me and smirked.

“What’s up with you today? You usually come out crying.”

It was a childish provocation. In my opinion, Han Yi-gyeol’s personality and appearance were a problem. It was easy to ignore the kind and soft-looking face, but if it had been my face in my past life, these ignorant people would not be talking to me recklessly.

I just raised my eyebrows and brushed past him. All the way back to my room, I heard quiet swearing behind me, but I pretended not to hear it.

Han Yi-gyeol

Cheon Sa-yeon

Once I returned to the room, the broken glass was cleaned up, and bandages and medicine were on the table. I carefully treated my injured arm and took out a piece of paper and a pen. I needed to objectively summarize my situation.

First of all, Cheon Sa-yeon’s order. It had to be accomplished. If I didn’t follow the progress of the original novel, there may be some discrepancies, and right now I was not in a position to openly defy Cheon Sa-yeon. Although deep inside, I wanted to get rid of everyone, but I couldn’t because my body could feel pain and I would just be beaten up. Cheon Sa-yeon was a villainous boss who had neither blood nor tears, so if I disobeyed his orders, he would surely punish me.

It was right to keep an eye on him, at least until I found a place to hide. I moved the pen.

「1. Any pain or sensation in the body feels normal. Death seems possible.

2. I have to take into account whatever happened before if I want to be comfortable.

3. I need a way to break off the relationship with Cheon Sa-yeon.」

I wrote this far and laid back as simply tossing a pen. Leaning back on the sofa, I thought. I had to go to the ‘Empress of Red Flames’ tomorrow and kidnap her, but there were so many things I didn’t know.

“…I don’t know how to use my abilities.”

I was confident that I could handle a knife or a gun well, but with just that, there was no way I could threaten and kidnap someone who could freely handle fire.

I looked down at my empty hands. It reminded me of my original hands, which were not very good-looking, full of scars and bumpy bones. In comparison, Han Yi-gyeol’s hands were much smaller, whiter, and slender… They really did seem like ‘delicate hands’.

However, this pretty hand showed no sign of Han Yi-gyeol’s wind ability. In the novel, he was able to skillfully handle wind with one hand. I looked at my open palms for a while until exhaustion crept up and I laid down on the bed. I didn’t do anything, yet I was already so tired.

‘What the hell did I do to be under that guy’s command?’

I clicked my tongue. I remembered my past life, where I was growing up as an orphan and struggling to live. If I had the ability to control wind, I would have had a much more comfortable and free life. In the first place, Han Yi-gyeol was forcibly tied to him because of his younger sister.

…In fact, I couldn’t understand even that because I’ve never had anything like a younger sibling in my past life.

I closed my eyes, leaving behind the unpleasant thoughts. In an instant, my consciousness clouded and darkness fell.

* * *

“Ugh… Ugh…”

His eyes were blurry. Hot tears were flowing down his face, and his hands on the grey rough cement floor were dirty and stained. He was barely able to raise his head as he pleaded with a trembling voice.

“Please, stay… with me…”

“How persistent.”

The voice that cut off his words was cold. A look of contempt on his face as he looked down.

Pretty lips opened. “Han Yi-gyeol.”

“I said it clearly. I used your sister as an excuse all this time, but that’s over now. Your little sister is dead and you’re useless.”

“……”

“If you understand, don’t show up again. If I see you one more time…”

Without finishing his words, he turned his back away from him. The back that Han Yi-gyeol stared at was moving away as he grabbed his trembling chest.

“Oh, no… no, I…”

What if you leave too? How can I live alone?

It was painful, as if his chest had been mutilated. Tears poured out of his eyes and blurred his vision. He forced his trembling body to stretch out a hand, but even the hem of his robe could not be touched.

“No, please… Please, take me. I will do anything.”

“Take him away.”

“Yes.”

His arms were caught by a strong force. He reflexively gathered the wind at his fingertips to shake them off, but in the end, he couldn’t do anything. He was afraid that he would be hated even more if he rebelled here—even though he knew it was already too late.

“Huh, huh, ah… please…”

Please, please.

Please…

* * *

My eyes shot open.

“Please…”

I muttered involuntarily and got up. As I suddenly lowered my head, tears fell on the blanket. My stomach was churning and my body was hot. Ugh, I groaned and ran my hand over my face. It was wet and I felt dirty.

“Ha, Cheon Sa-yeon… that asshole.”

To be shedding precious tears for that guy. Angrily, I threw off my clothes and went into the bathroom to turn on the water. After taking a cold shower, I felt a little better. I checked the time and saw it was just past 11 am.

I put on my bathrobe and drank water as I thought quietly.

‘Why did I suddenly have that dream?’

The part where Cheon Sa-yeon abandoned Han Yi-gyeol was in the middle of the novel. It was a dream that did not fit the current situation.

“I don’t know.”

I put down my glass of water and sighed. It was easier to just skip questions that you couldn’t find an answer to, and there were some things I needed to check.

I raised my hand and flexed my fingers. For a brief moment, there was a moment in my dream where Han Yi-gyeol tried to use his powers, a strange sensation of something cold running through his body. I had to follow it.

As I closed my eyes and focused, I felt something cool in my heart, to my surprise—it was like smoke and water. The energy that had gathered in my heart began to move as I wanted it to. As energy flowed through my arms and into my hands, I heard the sound of the wind whistling like it had been written in the novel.

I opened my eyes and pointed to the glass of water with my hand. Then, the water in the cup floated into the air in the shape of a whirlpool. It was strange, yet so easy.

‘If I hadn’t dreamed about it, it would have been more difficult to find out.’

Still, I was glad I now know how to use it. I wanted to test the magnitude of the force a little more, but I couldn’t make a mess inside the hotel room, so I’d have to go outside. Well, I could also kidnap the ‘Empress of Red Flames’ while I’m at it.

* * *

I ordered room service for lunch. Since it was the room that Cheon Sa-yeon gave me, I deliberately ordered the most expensive one. As the master of a well-known guild, the cost would probably just be a drop of an ocean to him.

While waiting for lunch, I turned on the TV and the news came on. The news is the best way to find out what was going on in the world, so I watched it with interest. I widened my eyes at the voice of the announcer that followed.

[The ‘Empress of Red Flames’ Cha Soo-yeon, who went out for reconnaissance in the G7 area, is returning today. Most of the G7 area is inhabited by B-rank monsters, but the area is so wide that it isn’t easy to understand. She is expected to come out of the gate around 3 pm, and the guild is currently…]

I carefully looked at the picture next to the announcer. A woman with red hair, dark eyes, and slightly raised lips. Who cares if it was a male-oriented novel. She was an incredible beauty.

Cha Soo-yeon. It was definitely a name I saw in the novel. She appeared a few times in the beginning, but she was one of the supporting actors who did not appear in the second half. I didn’t think she had such a strong personality…

When the announcer’s explanation was finished, the screen changed and the reporter at the gate of the G7 area started the on-site broadcast. The gate was crowded with reporters and Cha Soo-yeon’s guild members. I had to take Cha Soo-yeon out of there and kidnap her? This was driving me crazy.

Room service arrived when the on-site broadcast was over as it moved on to the next news story. After enjoying the expensive food, I changed into the clothes prepared by Cheon Sa-yeon and took my wallet. No matter how crazy it is, I had to go to the G7 area gate.

I wondered if at least one guard would follow me, but there was no one in the hallway. I came out of the hotel by myself and brushed the back of my hair.

You thought that I wouldn’t be able to run away because I had a younger sister. Well, I was fine.

This world I encountered was much more ordinary than I thought. There were no flying cars or monsters roaming the streets or anything like that. Come to think of it, in the novel, it said that there was one ability user among a thousand people. Even within those numbers, abilities varied according to rank, so there were very few people with the ability to enter the gate where monsters inhabited.

“This is beyond me.”

I walked down the street, stroking my bandaged wrist. I wanted to check how strong my ability was, but the world was so peaceful. If you used your ability here, you could be arrested by the police.

As I was contemplating what to do, I heard a sharp scream from the other side of the road.

“Fire! The building is on fire!”

“……”

Should I call this an opportunity?

Cha Soo-yeon
